CLARKS SUMMIT - Autumn is harvest time. A time for farmers to reap the foods of their labor. A time of cornucopias and abundance. But there are many who struggle against hunger in this area, which is why this is also a time for food drives. Summit Baptist Bible Church in Clarks Summit will organize its 5th annual Athletes in Action food drive Oct. 21. Students from the church’s youth group, students from Summit Christian Academy school and athletes from Abington Heights High School will meet at the church at 1 p.m., and from there will travel door- to- door in neighborhoods to collect donations from Clarks Summit residents until 6 p.m. They will collect foods such as soups, canned vegetables, cereals, peanut butter and other non-perishable foods. Residents who do not have food on hand to donate, can give money for the purchase of food and water for the program. If residents will not be home during the drive, they can call the church in advance and leave food on their porches. “It’s a good way to get the

WAVERLY - Waverly Elementary School Principal Steve Aquilina sent a letter home to parents stating that Oct. 9, a third-grade boy was allegedly confronted by an older white male after exiting Bus #35. According to the letter, the man offered the student video games in an attempt to lure him into his car. The incident occurred at the intersection of Willow Road and Laurel Hill at 3:45 p.m. Waverly police confirmed that they received a call later that night, around 6 or 7 p.m., regarding the incident and the report is still under investigation. The public is asked to report suspicious behavior to Waverly Police or Waverly Elementary School. According to Abington Heights Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon, all principals and bus drivers in the districts were notified of the confrontation, along with playground moderators and gym teachers. “They will all be on alert, as they always are,” Mahon said. Although the report was troubling, Mahon said the district is not instituting any major changes at this time. “We’re not panicking, but our eyes are wide open after the incident,” he said. Alexis Lounsberg, a mom with two students enrolled at Waverly Elementary School, was taken aback after hearing about the incident. “I was shocked and a little scared,” she said. “Anytime See Report, Page 6

ids in search of free Saturday fun can visit downtown Clarks Summit in a Halloween costume and trick-or-treat for free candy. They can play games of Ghost Busters and Spooky Eye Toss, try their hand at a UFO craft, make popcorn hands and candy monsters and watch giant pumpkin carvings. Then it will be time to participate in a Child and Pooch Costume Parade. There will not be a shortage of amusement at the Fall Fun Day Oct. 20, according to Laura Ancherani, executive director of event host, the Abington Business and Professional Association. A full day of free activities is planned for the community.

“There’s really nothing like it in this area. You’ve got that uniqueness and on top of it, it’s free,” said Ancherani. “You can come to the event in the morning at 11 a.m., go to the (Heritage Baptist) church and eat for free, ride a pony, go on a hayride, ride the rides, make a scarecrow…come to town in a Halloween costume and get some free candy, go to a free party and see the giant pumpkins being carved. You could spend the whole day here and not spend any money.”

The fun will begin at 11 a.m. at Heritage Baptist Church, 415 Venard Road, with free food, rides, games, scarecrow making, pony rides and a magician and a juggler, and continue until 4 p.m. “A large pumpkin demonstration will be held at the church around noon,” said Marc Crouthamel, Sculpted Ice Works of Lakeville. And from 2 to 8 p.m., the fun will continue in Clarks Summit where there will be See Fun, Page 9

Safe and spooky fun There’s a rumor going around that Oct. 27, during the twilight hours of 6 and 8 p.m., the “Spirit of the Great Pumpkin” will be lurking around the South Abington Park. According to the South Abington Lions Club, that rumor is true. Once again, the club is getting into the spirit of the season and planning an event to help everyone enjoy a Halloween that is fun, safe—and just a little bit scary. Children 10 and younger are invited to join in the celebration and festivities at the South Abington Park Pavilion. The event includes Halloween refreshments around a warm fire, face painting, pumpkin painting, story telling and more. Whether in costume or not, participants will receive “tricks and treats.”

Editor: The company I work for interacts with people with disabilities. Many of these people live independently in their own homes through the services we provide to them. I recently attended a Junior Comets football game held at Comet Stadium. It came over the loud speaker that the stadium had about 6 handicapped parking spaces. All the spaces were taken up by cars that had neither a “handicapped” license plate nor a placard in the windows. It was furthered announced that the cars would receive a ticket and some would be towed. Three able bodied women got up to move their cars. They managed to climb up and down the stadium stairs,

so I can only imagine that they could park their cars and walk to the stadium. I want to thank the announcer that day for bringing awareness to an all too common problem. Handicapped parking places are close to buildings, stores etc. People park there for the easy access to the places they are going with total disregard to the people who the parking spaces are intended for. More people like this announcer at a football game need to take a look around them. If you see someone parking in a space they should not be in then tell them. It only takes a few seconds to improve a life of someone who lives with a disability. Linda M. Scott

ISN’T IT ROMANTIC? Norbert Mayr and Diane Hrubos will celebrate their 7th anniversary in April, 2013 with a banana split for dessert.

ABINGTON JOURNAL/JOAN MEAD-MATSUI

‘Harmonious’ life

Norbert Mayr, the first time he saw Diane Hrubos in 1966. Diane is the girl at center with her older John and their sister Cathie. Hrubos was 10 and Mayr was 20. They married 6 years ago.

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

anana splits, laughter and a devotion to their family are a few items 67-year-old Norbert Mayr and his wife, Diane Hrubos, 56, South Abington Township, cherish. In 2005, they agreed “enough is enough” and married after 13 years in a long- distance relationship. The couple met at Diane’s family’s farm in New Jersey in 1966, but “It (their family ties) goes back to my mother and Norbert growing up together in Germany,” said Hrubos. Mayr was born and raised in Germany in the same building as Diane’s mother and following his immigration to the United States in 1965, their families remained in close contact. Hrubos was 10 in 1966 when Mayr, who was working at a jewelry store and living in North Carolina, came to visit. Hrubos recalled, “I had just gotten my ears pierced when he came to visit and he brought me a pair of white gold earrings with a diamond chip. I’m pretty sure that’s when I fell in love. I know that I had a crush on him for most of my life.” In the spring of 1967, Mayr married; Hrubos married in 1977. “We had separate existences, but were always in touch. We always knew what the other one was doing,” said Mayr. Hrubos described their journey as a “crooked road until 20 years ago…. Our lives intersected…I got married and had children and he got married and had children, but he was always on the outskirts of my life.” Years later, after Mayr divorced, he took a teaching position at Penn State Worthington Campus in Dunmore. “Fairly frequently my mother invited Norbert to holiday dinners because he was living alone,” said Hrubos. Twenty years ago, Hrubos said, “…I called him (Mayr)

and said, ‘Do you want to go out to dinner with me?’ He said, ‘Sure.’ So I drove up here (to Clarks Summit) and here we are.” Mayr recalled his reaction to her call. “I didn’t know what to do…This was unusual…but it felt more like a friend in need than anything else. She had just separated from her husband…I had a feeling she needed someone to talk to.” He added, “I had almost gotten used to the idea that I was going to live alone for the rest of my life, and the realization that this was not going to happen was wonderful. After a while, it became apparent that when she wasn’t here, something was missing. It was a gradual sort of thing that all of a sudden, after a while, it was really tough to envision life if she wasn’t a part of it.” They lived 100 miles apart and in separate states until seven years ago. Hrubos said, “My kids were in school and I didn’t want to take them out and I had a good job. Norbert couldn’t move because he had tenure at the Penn State Worthington Campus.” They were married by a justice of the peace in April

2005. “Our wedding reception was the two of us at Friendly’s (former Friendly’s in Clarks Summit) with banana splits,” said Hrubos with a laugh. Hrubos described their marriage as, “Like sleeping in your own bed. It’s easy and comfortable…rarely do we have an argument.” Mayr said, “We’ve known each other so long and so well, it’s just a harmonious sort of thing.” Among interests they share is a great appreciation for grandchildren, whom they visit often; reading; handcrafts (Hrubos makes glass and Mayr enjoys woodworking) and, of course, banana splits. Every year on their anniversary, they commemorate with a banana split at Friendly’s. Above their bed is a wall decal that states, “It’s never too late for happily ever after.” Diane Hrubos and her granddaughter Olivia Traxler, in Chesapeake, Va. at Disney on Ice with husband Norbert Mayr.

CLARKS GREEN- Clarks Green Borough Council discussed the tentative budget for 2013 at its monthly meeting Oct. 10 at the borough building. Council member Alan Hughes described it as “a work in progress.” Council members received an early draft of the budget to be reviewed and amended as necessary. Council president Keith Williams said in regard to planning the 2013 budget, “I want to reassure the public that council is exercising diligence.” Further discussion concerned the upcoming Veterans Outreach Oct. 26 in which Annissa Fetchen from the Lackawanna County Veterans Affairs will be available at the borough building to discuss Veterans benefits from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Council also mentioned that it is seeking donation of toys or gift cards for the Dec. 15 Health and Safety Fair at Our Lady of Peace School. Councilman David Rinaldi reported on the annul leaf bag distribution and thanked those who helped including Abington Heights High School senior John Olevnik, John Earley, Ben Brown, former councilman Rick Williams and 15 students from Baptist Bible College and Seminary (BBC&S). “It was a wonderful experience getting to know the young people from BBC & S,” Rinaldi said. “The students were more than happy to help.” He mentioned that as Chair of the Refuse and Recycling Committee, he would like to revisit involving BBC&S students for next year’s leaf bag distribution. Council member Marnie O’Dea Palmer and President Williams introduced the idea of a quarterly newsletter for residents to keep them apprised of new residents, ordnances and events. Palmer said it could be a venue for getting to know residents’ thoughts and opinions concerning the borough. She volunteered to research the cost.

CREATIVITY in Newton

rom dog treats and couchshaped tissue box covers to hand-painted glassware, the Newton Ransom Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary Fall Craft Show had it all. Shoppers browsed the various tables set up in the fire hall Oct. 13, inspecting the variety of artistic creations and making purchases. For a listing of more upcoming craft shows, see the Arts and Entertainment Calendar on Page 11.

Edward Kloniecke, of Moosic, creates wood plaques such as this one by first drawing the design on a computer, then sending it to a laser, which acts as a printer, to etch and cut the design into the wood. The artist said he has worked with the craft for about 3 years and also uses other materials such as glass, cloth and marble, although wood is his biggest seller. He said he creates personalized gifts. For details, visit scrantonengraving.com.

Volunteers aid in leaf bag distribution

According to David J. Rinaldi, Clarks Green Borough Council member and Chair Refuse and Recycling Committee, on Oct. 6, Clarks Green Borough conducted its annual leaf bag distribution. Annually, council members were tasked with the physical delivery of the bags to borough residents. In an effort to increase efficiency and create a community event, Council solicited volunteers from the community to assist. They contacted Jonathan Strayer, Director of Student Activities at Baptist Bible College and Seminary offered assistance from the student body there. In less than a week’s time, 15 students volunteered: Abigail Skoglund, Tamra Lenfesty, Ashley Adams, Faith Helbig, Claudia Erway, Vicky Eaton, Kristen Miller, Rachel Ingalls, Daniel Pfuelg, Stephen Yakaboski, Ethan Balsavo, Josh Mowers, Kevin Fisher, Kristen Schill and Peter Relph.Additionally, resulting from a borough sign board request , John Olevnik, a senior at Abington Heights High School, offered and rendered his assistance. Three other individuals donated their time as well John Earley,Ben Brown and former Borough Councilman Rick Williams. Shown are volunteers at the Clarks Green Borough leaf bag distribution, including students from Baptist Bible College and Seminary.

Rose Cognetti has been sewing these stuffed turtles and similar stuffed lizards, frogs, monsters, bears, ghosts, crazy dolls and more as gifts for about 40 years, she said, and she’s been selling them at local craft fairs for about three years.

On Oct. 20, concerned citizens of Scranton will take to the streets to voice public opposition to the President Barack Obama administration’s Health and Human Services Mandate. The Mandate forces all employers—including religious schools and hospitals—to provide free contraceptives, surgical sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs through their health plans, regardless of religious or moral convictions. The Scranton Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally will begin at noon at Courthouse Square, across from the Wiliam J. Nealon Federal Building, 235 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, joining more than130 cities to date and towns from Maine to Hawaii participating in this national event. A complete list of rally sites and other details are available at StandUpRally.com.

“Police chiefs, clinicians, etc.—folks don’t meet these people until there’s a crisis,” he said. “In a crisis, details are missed,” he added, which is why Families Helping Families hopes to inoculate attendees with information that will help them in their battle against addiction. The speaker Oct. 17 will be Jeff Zerechak, who is director of drug and alcohol programming in Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties. “I expect an informative presentation,” Davis said.

Parenthood, Abington Style with Adriane Heine

Simple life saves money I was never a cable TV person. With so many good shows on the basic networks, I couldn’t even contemplate keeping up with the offerings on hundreds of channels, time-wise or financially. Until five years ago, that is, when the free offer came in the mail. “Sign up now and receive a free laptop!” The phone company had paired with the satellite television company to offer a bundle package; phone, internet and television, all on the same bill. The three major networks and PBS had always been enough for us. I was the only mom around whose kids didn’t know who Sponge Bob was. They had been raised thus far on “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” “Sesame Street” and no commercials. I felt no need for more channels, but the free laptop came at the perfect time. We were opening a business and really needed it. The price to get more channels was within reason and the kids were thrilled. It seemed like the right time to upgrade. In the five years since, our family’s appetite for more and more channels has grown. One Sunday, the Eagles were playing on a sports channel we didn’t receive. So we added it. Then Oprah started her own network. It wasn’t part of our package, so I added it. Then we watched Animal Planet on a road trip and realized we didn’t have it, so we added it. Last fall, after strong storms, repair technicians were to our house more than once to fix the satellite reception. “I can give you HBO free

$100 million in aid available The Lackawanna County Commissioners received notification that the U. S. Small Business Administration approved $100,850,800 in Disaster Assistance Loans for residents and business owners in Pennsylvania affected by Tropical Storm Lee and Hurricane Irene. According to SBA officials, 2,618 home and business disaster loans have been approved. The commissioners urge residents who experienced difficulties to contact either www.sba.gov or the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800.659.2955 (800.877.8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing).

for three months,” the tech pitched. I agreed, then neglected to cancel it when the rate increase kicked in. Next thing I knew, this former proud “Caillou” and “Charlie Rose”-watching, budget-conscious mom, was shelling out well over $200 a month for TV. Pretty silly considering we have little time to watch it. Between homework, after-school activities, jobs and chores, we are lucky if we watch an hour a night. It hasn’t gone unnoticed that our nearly one-year-old prefers “Barney,” just as her sisters had, to any slick Disneyfied version of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I remember the guilt I felt when her big sisters first left PBS for Disney and Nickelodeon. The worst part had been their reaction to the colorful commercials with the catchy jingles. Our first few Christmases as satellite TV-watchers had brought must-have toys that were systematically played with once and left to collect dust. In addition, the ever-filling DVR had become a source of stress, another thing on the never-ending To-Do List. “Do you know you have 22 episodes of ‘The View’ recorded?” my husband asked. “When are you going to watch them? Do you realize we only have 34 more hours of recording space left on the DVR?” On any given weeknight, as I race to get the kids showered after practice, check their homework and prep their backpacks for the coming day, he could be heard calling out, “Hurry, guys! We have three Glee episodes to watch. Come and sit down, quick!” Then there was the dreaded Tuesday night ritual: “Dance Moms.” Our middle-schooler had heard about it at school and both she and her younger sister were hooked. They would race in from practice,

leave a wake of strewn clothes and unfinished homework in their wake and race to the TV. All so that the entire household could be held captive by a shrill, raspy-voiced dance teacher who berates her young students while their bejeweled mothers look on, whispering bleeped obscenities. “This is what’s breaking our household budget,?” I mused. I don’t know what took me so long, but the $253 bill that came this month finally set me into action. First, I got the husband on board. “I could give up my hunting shows,” he said. “There’s always ‘Pennsylvania Outdoor Life.’” Then he went on, “If you could save us some money, it would be so worth it.” Next, the kids. I knew this would be a tougher sell. I wasn’t seeking their approval as much as hoping to make them understand the changes. “We can’t lose Nickelodeon, Disney or MTV!” one exclaimed. “MTV?” I asked, “I didn’t know you watched MTV.” “ ‘Ridiculousness’! I love that show.” “Honey, it is a funny home video show,” I said, “but, is it worth $50 a month? You watch it once in a while on a Saturday morning.” She shook her head indicating that no, it was not. We talked about how little time we have to watch TV, how many shows we all like on regular TV and how much money we will save. They agreed it was a good idea. The phone call was even more productive than I had hoped. My husband was thrilled with the savings and now the costly extracurricular activities the girls had been asking for became feasible. As we settled down on the couch on Sunday night to watch “America’s Funniest Home Videos” instead of “Honey Boo-Boo,” I was reminded of years gone by, of simpler times. I smiled and sighed peacefully, knowing our lives just became a little bit simpler and a lot less costly.

Eighth graders are tutored in the math and verbal concepts that are covered by the exam. Becoming familiar with the structure of the test and the nature of the questions is an important part of the test preparation. For more information contact the Office of Admissions at 941.7737, ext. 112.

INJURED AT WORK, SUING OUTSIDE OF WORK

While workers’ compensation can provide employees who are injured on the job with money and benefits, it does not compensate them with monetary awards related to pain and suffering, nor does it provide punitive damages that punish employers who are responsible for poor safety controls or dangerous conditions. With this in mind, injured employees may want to explore the possibility of bringing their cases outside the workers’ compensation system. Another work injury scenario that may prompt personal injury suits includes being injured by a defective product, in which case a product liability suit may be brought against the manufacturer. Similarly, a worker injured by a toxic substance might bring a toxic tort lawsuit against its manufacturer. If you’ve been hurt at work and want to pursue a case outside of the workers’ compensation system, please call Amil M. Minora. I have years of experience dealing with all aspects of personal injury law. That means I have the expertise you need to get the money that you deserve.

A team of champions

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER

lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT- Competitive horse riding is more of a team sport than one may think, according to Madison Strony, of Clarks Summit, recent winner of the Equestrian National Championship for Children’s Working Hunter Horse Division in the Marshall and Sterling horse league. The 17-year-old Abington Heights High School Senior said she considers her horse, Aye Spy, an 11-year-old male gelding, and his trainer, Leah Cruciani, Chapter XI Farm, Jermyn, as her teammates. She said when her family moved to the area from Erie about five years ago, she was in between trainers, and since then, Cruciani took the horse under her wing and helped him become what he is today. “Leah [Cruciani] really helped me get where I was,” Strony said. “Without her, I don’t think I would have been able to even get here or qualify.” She added she thinks Aye Spy wouldn’t be as great as he is without her either. Strony also gave a lot of credit to her mother, Elisa Strony, who supported her in

the sport throughout the years. “I can’t say every mom will wake up from getting a phone call from a hotel at 3:45 in the morning,” she said, “to be at the show at 4:30 and on by 5.” And there have been many shows. Most recently, Strony finished the Marshall and Sterling League 2012 regular riding season in third place nationally, on her way to her second top ten qualifying visit to the national finals, the first trip being in 2010. A press release stated she “counts this as the most prestigious win of her career,” even topping her accomplishment of grand champion at the Syracuse PHA horse show earlier this year. Her next big trip is back to the United States Equestrian Federation Zone 2 finals Oct 21 in Harrisburg, for which she is ranked third out of the top 15. She said she considers this her “last hurrah,” as this is her last year in the children’s division, and she hopes to have fun competing and “end it on a good note.” After high school, Strony said she aspires to attend college to major in biology.

MORE THAN MOVIES Dietrich Theater Erica Rogler

Good Ol’ Gershwin BY GERARD E. NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

eorge Gershwin, one of the most renowned composers of the 20th century, will soon get the Mostly Opera treatment. “He wrote wonderful stuff,” said Helene Tinsley, director of Mostly Opera. “We’re going to touch on the highlights.” Mostly Opera, a Scranton-based organization committed to providing quality opera and other music to the region, will present Mostly Gershwin at 6 p.m., Oct. 28, at the Radisson at Lackawanna Station, Scranton. As the name suggests, the show will primarily feature music from Gershwin, but performers will trot out tunes from some of his contemporaries, too. Tinsley, who will help host the show, will perform a song penned by Scranton native Ned Washington, who was nominated for 11 Oscars and won two for his film music. Gershwin, perhaps best known for his classical piece “Rhapsody in Blue,” wrote his music in the 1920s and ’30s, crafting some of the most well-known songs in American history. Ira, his brother, wrote

much of the lyrics for his songs, and the two worked as a team. “He combined classical style with folk music, and at that time it was jazz,” Tinsley said. “The people just stood up and said, ‘Wow, this is something different.’ It changed music.” Among the songs included in the show are selections from Gershwin’s folk opera “Porgy and Bess” as well as pieces from some of Gershwin’s other shows. Most of the music will be familiar to even casual Gershwin fans. “The songs we have in the show are standalone hits,” she said. Mostly Opera will transform the Radisson into a theater with professional sound and lighting and topnotch singers from the region. An orchestra will provide the music, including excerpts from “Rhapsody in Blue” and “An American in Paris.” A crowd favorite, Tinsley said, is the part of the show when the audience is encouraged to sing along. “We pass out sheets of music to the audience,” she said. Mostly Opera was founded in 2000, but it has roots that stretch back to the 1960s, when Norbert K.

“One of the things that Mostly Opera does is try to be an advocate for opera in the community and be a showcase where regional talent can get the experience of actually singing before an audience.” Marilyn Costa, Glenburn resident Mostly Opera board member

Betti started the Scranton-based opera company Opera IV. “One of the things that Mostly Opera does is try to be an advocate for opera in the community and be a showcase where regional talent can get the experience of actually singing before an audience,” Mostly Opera board member and Glenburn resident Marilyn Costa said, adding that all of singers come from within an hour of Scranton. One way of promoting opera is the organization’s sponsorship of a

Mostly Opera soprano Catherine Carter attends Marywood University.

Marywood opens ‘Talisman’ exhibit Oct. 20 Marywood University will present a painting exhibition, “Talisman” by Renée Emanuel, opening Oct. 20 in the Suraci Gallery on campus. An opening reception for the artist will be held from 6-8 p.m. A regional artist and a native of Northeast Pa., Emanuel graduated from Marywood University with an MFA in Painting. She creates colorful paintings in acrylic, watercolor, and casein that celebrate her strong connection to the land and the still life objects, shown, that evoke an interior landscape. Whether it’s the tapestry of the natural world that calls her, or the beautiful patterns and relationships in her still life, the artist believes that painting can be a meditative state, opening up both to observed reality and her inner landscape. From the Greek verb “Teleo” the original meaning of talisman is “to consecrate.” This active description appeals to the artist, who believes that the act of painting, opening up both to observed reality and to her inner landscape, can be a meditative state. Emanuel was recognized as an award winner in the publication, The Best of America, Watercolor Artists and Artisans.

It could be argued that the Beatles have been the most influential rock ’n roll group in the world. Whether young or more mature, I am sure most of us have a favorite Beatles song. What’s yours? For me, it is “Yellow Submarine”. The song reminds me of my brother who went through a long phase of playing their music on the piano and his keyboard when we were growing up. On Sunday, Oct. 21 at 3 p.m., the Dietrich Theater will be hosting a free Beatles presentation called “The End: Authorship, Nostalgia and the Beatles.” We hope you can join us for this audio and video-oriented program with Beatles scholar Kenneth Womack. During this talk, he will bring the story of the Beatles vividly to life as he traces the group’s history from their salad days in Liverpool to the mean streets of Hamburg, through Abbey Road, to the twilight of their career. He will discuss the origins of the group’s compositions as well as their songwriting and recording practices. Bring your entire family to this event and share with each other favorite memories or songs of the Beatles. This program has been sponsored by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council through their Commonwealth Speakers program. Tickets can be reserved by calling 570.996.1500 or they can be picked up at the Dietrich’s ticket. Another event that I am looking forward to is Tales From Alaska, a story hour at the Tunkhannock Public Library Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. All ages are invited to experience stories from Alaska told by master storyteller and WVIA radio personality Fiona Powell. During this hour, children and adults will learn about this state’s people and culture through the ancient tradition of storytelling. Admission is free. To preregister, please call the Tunkhannock Public Library at 570.836.1677. This story hour is being held in conjunction with the Dietrich Children’s Theatre’s upcoming production of “Balto: A True Story of the Bravest Dog in America.” On Friday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. and Saturday, Oct. 27 at 11 a.m., we will go back in time to the blinding blizzard of 1925 that almost shut down the Alaskan town of Nome. An outbreak of disease threatens the children, and the medicine needed is 800 miles away. No one could See Dietrich, Page 13

Tolkien’s life in a biography, recently released a collection of seven short stories titled “Seven from Haven.” Billed as a collection with an “O’Henry-like sensibility, charm and humor,” the stories are set in the fictional Pocono town of Haven, “where strange and wondrous things happen,” according to a description on Amazon.com. The Newfoundland-based writer described his stories as “fantastical—possibly ghost stories,” but whether anything supernatural is at work is a bit ambiguous, he explained. “The stories of Haven are written about a town that takes care of its own,” he said, referring to the tight-knit ethos of communities in the Poconos. “It’s something that I wanted to do for many years, but I got

A sea change is afoot within the publishing industry, according to Grotta. In much the same way that digital photography brought about the obsolescence of film, e-publishing will render “dead tree books” a thing of the past, he explained. A printing revolution “as profound as Gutenberg’s will leave its permanent imprint for better or for worse,” he said. .Grotta, along with his wife, Sally, owns a publishing imprint called Pixel Hall Press, which published “Seven from Haven.” In many ways, Grotta’s running a publishing imprint is an outgrowth of his years of experience in the publishing and technology fields. The operation of his publishing imprint “seems like an actual extension of technologies we’re writing about,” he said. “With the rise of the Internet and ePublishing, we’re morphing into a new career.” “Seven from Haven” as well as Grotta’s other fiction, as well as Sally Wiener Grotta’s writing, is available on Amazon.com.

Patrick has the potential to play college soccer, but now might be leaning toward kicking football in college. He is undecided on where he will attend college, but has narrowed down his potential topics of study. “I am still exploring my college options, but am interested in pursuing a major related to the math and sciences,” he said. “I hope to have the opportunity to kick at the college level.

I am very appreciative of the support I have received from Coach Klingman in allowing me to play two fall sports and have really enjoyed having the opportunity to be a part of both teams.” He also talked about soccer and his other hobbies “For the past two years, I have spent my spare time with a travel soccer team out of Newburgh, N.Y.,” he said. “Outside of soccer and football, I enjoy wakeboarding, snowboarding and playing piano.” Patrick is also the kicker

Abington Heights quarterback Dante Pasqualichio scrambles for yardage in the Comets 20-7 win over Scranton Prep.

Comets top Cavaliers BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMITDespite completing just four passes, Abington Heights high school quarterback Dante Pasqualichio made the two most important throws of the game, connecting for a pair of touchdown passes in the Comets’ 20-7 win over Scranton Prep in a key Lackawanna Football Conference Division I game at Comets Stadium Oct. 13. “I thought we did some things well in spots offensively that gave us an opportunity to put some points on the board,”

Abington Heights head coach Joe Repshis said. “Defensively, when we had our backs against the wall a few times the players responded and we were able to come out of here with a hard fought victory against a very good football team.” On just the second play of the game, Scranton Prep quarterback Griff DiBileo botched the hand off to tailback Marshall Kupinski and Comets’ defensive end Zack Sutter pounced on the loose ball at the Cavaliers’ 24-yard line. Abington Heights cashed in on the turnover when kicker Ryan Patrick made a

35-yard field goal less than two minutes into the game. After a Scranton Prep three-and-out, the Comets took nearly seven minutes off the clock but failed to score when a high snap prevented Patrick from attempting a field goal. The Cavaliers capitalized on the momentum by putting together an 11-play 90-yard drive that was capped by a 5-yard touchdown run from Kupinski. Mark Fetter added the extra point to give Scranton Prep a 7-3 lead with 8:59 remaining in the second quarter. Kupinski finished the

game with 107 yards rushing on 22 carries. Comets linebacker Joe Dietz recovered a Pat Marino fumble at the Cavaliers’ 36-yard line midway through the second quarter, but the Abington Heights drive stalled when Pasqualichio was sacked on third down by Kupinski. Abington Heights retook the lead when Pasqualichio connected with Nate Hollander on an 8yard touchdown to cap a 6-play 53-yard drive with 47.9 seconds left in the first half.

During Friday night home football games at Lakeland Jr./Sr. High School, fans are treated to more than just the battle on the gridiron. Miss Chief, Kaitlyn Zaleski, dazzles those in attendance with the throwing of fire and knives. “I have been throwing for seven years,” she said. “I get really nervous beforehand, but once I hit the field the adrenaline kicks in and I don’t even think about it.” The Scott Township resident was honored to follow in the line of great Miss Chiefs over the years. “This year, there were three girls who tried out,” she said. “I was really emotional and so proud when I was selected. When I was given the headdress and tomahawk by last year’s Miss Chief, McKensie Cur-

now, all the other girls were cheering and clapping. It meant a lot.” Zaleski cherishes the time spent with the other members of the Chiefs’ drill team. “I’ve been able to do what I love most,” she said. “I have a great group of girls who are really supportive and listen well. Overall, it’s been a really good year." Zaleski, who is also the captain of the boys basketball cheerleading squad, was thrilled to be named to the homecoming court. “I was psyched,” she said. “I had no idea that I was going to be voted in. They called my name during the announcements at lunch. I was shocked and really happy about it.” Zaleski is the daughter of Jeffrey and Karen Zaleski. She plans to study art therapy in college and is considering Marywood University.

Robinson, a defender, has started all 10 games, the team giving up 17 goals in 10 games with two shutouts. Oneonta dropped a tough three overtime 1-0 decision to Brockport for its first league setback last Friday. “Bridgette is the epitome of a team leader,” coach Kelly Kingsbury said. “She has taken her game to a new level and has put a lot of pieces together. It’s great to see her playing as well as she is because she has worked hard over the past three years to get where she is today.” The coach feels that this is

a special season for Robinson and the Red Dragons. “We are having a great season so far and I know it will continue with the leadership that Bridgette provides for the team,” Kingsbury said.

Holy Cross, Prep win titles STAFF REPORTS

Holy Cross and Scranton Prep high schools won District 2 girls golf team championships Tuesday at Scranton Municipal Golf Course and qualified to play in the PIAA East Regional Oct. 16 at Golden Oaks Golf Club in Fleetwood. Holy Cross defeated Valley View, 330-459, in Class AA. Scranton Prep, playing uncontested, won the District 2 Class AAA championship by shooting 372. The Lady Crusaders and

Classics needed to shoot 400 or better while winning the district to advance into state play. Selena Cerra’s 2-under-par, 70 led the way for Holy Cross. Emily Okrepkie added 80 while Rachel Mackrell shot 89 and Giana Chase 90. Ashley Turpak shot 91 but was the only Valley View player to break 100. Danielle Dalessandro led Scranton Prep, shooting an 81. Lauren Wells added 87 while Christine FitzPatrick shot 101 and Marina Polanchek shot 103.

sisters Kristyn and Kayla Grunza. Both are former Lackawanna Trail standouts. Kristyn has four goals and seven assists for 17 points. But scoring is just half the story for the talented senior. “Kristyn’s skills are unmatched in Division II,” coach Diane Monkiewicz said. “She commands the center of the field and is a blast to watch.” Kayla, a sophomore, has picked up an assist and also has two defensive saves. “Kayla is coming into her own,” Monkiewicz said. “She is much more aggressive and makes things happen on attack. She’s a solid defender and looks more and more like Courtney (the older sister and a former Mansfield All-American).” Courtney Grunza has been working with the team and is

on the sidelines for games. Sophomore Lacey Croasdale, also a former Lackawanna Trail performer, is on the squad. She has three goals and two assists. “Lacey is a spark plug,” Monkiewicz said. “She is a very dangerous offensive player and she gives speed and dimension to our attack. She’s not afraid to shoot ’em up. We’ve only touched the surface in regards to her abilities as a field hockey player.” GOOD START FOR MECCA – Sophomore David Mecca (Abington Heights) has been playing solid golf for the Hofstra men’s team this fall.

He opened with 77 and had 71 in the second round to finish tied for 11th in a field of 81 golfers. “David’s improvement over last year is consistency in his short game,” coach Joe Elliott said. “David hits the ball a country mile so length is not an issue.” The player and coach continue to work hard on his short game. “I would like David to work on his 100 yard in game,” Elliott said. “And also work on his patience. Not every pin needs to be attacked.” The Pride will compete in the Big 5 Championship Saturday and Sunday in Huntingdon Valley outside of Philadelphia.

“He just started working on this last spring and I don’t think he has missed an extra point all year," Klingman said. Patrick kicked two field goals, including one from 42 yards, in the team’s win over Valley View Oct. 6. “He consistently puts

kickoffs inside the 5-yard line and had a couple in the end zone at Valley View, which I am sure is a major benefit to the football program,” Klingman added. Patrick commented on his experiences on the football field. “Kicking field goals

has been a learning experience,” he said. “Since this is my first year kicking, I learned in order to be successful, you don’t only have to be a good kicker, you need to have a good snapper, like TJ Murray, a good holder like J.C. Show, and a good line to protect you.”

Dunmore prevails over Lakeland

BY CHRISTINA CORDNER Abington Journal Correspondent

On a cold Oct. 12 night, the Dunmore Bucks traveled to Scott Township to take on the Lakeland Chiefs. Lakeland Jr./Sr. High School football team kept the score close for most of the game, but ultimately fell to Dunmore 22-17. Dunmore scored the first points of the game with a 4-yard touchdown run by Daiqwon Buckley with 8:44 left in the first quarter to make the score 7-0. Dunmore was favored going into the game and despite Lakeland possessing the ball for a longer period of time in the first quarter, the Bucks looked as if they would dominate the game. The Bucks did not stop there. With 8:42 left in the half, quarterback Brandon Kujawski threw a 24-yard touchdown pass. The teamsucceeded in making a two-point conversion to make the score 15-0. With 1:36 remaining in the half, Lakeland scored its first touchdown of the night on a

10-yard run by quarterback Kyle Kiehart. This brought the score to 15-7. However, the half was not

over for the Chiefs offense as they recovered a fumble with 54 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Lakeland tight end Cody

ABINGTON JOURNAL/ELLEN BUGNO

Lakeland quarterback Kyle Kiehart looks downfield for an open receiver. The senior accounted for both a rushing and passing touchdown in the Chiefs 22-17 loss to Dunmore Oct. 12.

Delfino scored a touchdown with just 26 seconds remaining in the half. Josh Natale made the two-point conversion and the score was tied, 15-15 going into halftime. When Dunmore got the ball back, Buckley scored another touchdown on a 58yard run with 6:40 left in the third quarter. This brought the score to 22-15. Lakeland blocked a punt for a safety with 1:32 remaining in the third quarter. This brought the score to 22-17. With 1:42 left in the game, Lakeland was on Dunmore’s 17-yard line on a third-andone play. However, they received a 5 yard penalty for illegal procedure and could not score. “When you’re playing a good team like Dunmore, you can’t give them a touchdown,” Lakeland head coach Jeff Wasilchak said. “You can’t have a one -yard punt from your own 26…. And the second quarter we decided we didn’t want to tackle either. “You have to play the full 48 minutes. We’re learning that the hard way.”

Old Forge drops Lackawanna Trail BY CORY BURRELL Abington Journal Correspondent

FACTORYVILLE– A first half filled with big plays helped Old Forge jump ahead early in the Blue Devils 35-14 win over Lackawanna Trail Friday at Lions Pride Stadium. A sluggish start for both teams quickly turned in Old Forge’s favor after Anthony Piccolini intercepted a pass and gave the Blue Devils the ball at the Lions’ 33-yard line. Two plays later, running back Brian Tomasetti scored on a 29-yard run. Tomasetti got better after his first score. He scored on the second play of the Blue Devils’ next drive on a 47yard run. On the first play of Old Forge’s third possession, Tomasetti ran through seemingly the entire Lions’ defense for a punishing 83yard touchdown to put the Blue Devils ahead 19-0 early in the second quarter. Old Forge head coach Mike Schuback had nothing but praise for Tomasetti, who finished with 199 yards and three touchdowns. “Brian’s an exceptionally

great running back,” Schuback said. “I’ve coached so many great running backs, but I’ll tell you, size, speed, power, he has it all. He’s very humble, he gives a lot of credit to his teammates, but the biggest thing about Brian is how he can run a simple power play and turn it into a 70 or 80-yard run.” The Blue Devils kept the Lions out of sync offensively throughout the first half. Old Forge’s defense managed to get crucial plays, including two fourth-down stops, to prevent the Lions’ from gaining momentum. Trail managed only five first downs in the first half. Another big touchdown came before halftime, this time from Blue Devils’ quarterback Brenden Wahl’s 52yard pass to Piccolini. Old Forge added a 33-yard field goal from Matthew Mancuso as time expired to take a 29-0 lead into halftime. “We’ve got some very talented, skilled kids,” Schuback said. “I’m really proud of them. They put a lot of extra time in this week to read and recognize what they

[Lackawanna Trail] do on defense. We just had to get to our zones and control the line of scrimmage, and I thought we did that well.” The Lions started to show some life in the second half. Lackawanna Trail opened the third quarter with a 15-play drive that led to the Lions’ first touchdown of the night, a goal line rush by Jeremy Greenley. The Blue Devils answered right back when Shane Schuback caught a quick pass from Wahl and proceeded to break several tackles en route to a 47-yard score that gave Old Forge a 35-7 lead. Wahl ended the night with 188 yards and two touchdowns against one interception. The Lions managed to control the game much better in the second half, running 29 plays while holding Old Forge to only 15. Lackawanna Trail head coach Steve Jervis said the second-half improvement was a credit to his team’s heart. “I was very proud of our kids’ effort in the second half,” Jervis said. “They

didn’t roll over. I think we outplayed them in the second half, so that says something about the character of our team.” Lackawanna Trail would score again on a 2-yard run from Greenley, who ended the night with two touchdowns and 52 yards, but it was not enough. The Lions outscored the Blue Devils 14-7 in the second half. “All you Jervis can ask for is an opportunity,” Jervis said. “We had that opportunity and we didn’t capitalize. They got us out of rhythm on offense and defensively we really didn’t have an answer in the second half…When you’re down four touchdowns at half, it kind of limits what you can do.” Lackawanna Trail’s record now stands at 5-2. Old Forge improves to 7-0. Lackawanna Trail’s next game will be on the road at 7 p.m. Friday against Susquehanna.
